Kindergarten

My name is Jennifer Polley and I am very excited to be working
with your child this year. This is my 20th
year teaching at Burnham School. I spent
the first 15 years teaching the pre-k program and moved to kindergarten 5 years
ago.

My
biggest goal this year is to make learning fun.
Every day we will be singing, coloring, cutting, writing our names and
enjoying new stories. We will also be
learning about math concepts, sight words, letter sounds and correct letter
formation. I want all children to LOVE
school right from the start. It is very
rewarding to see smiling faces in line every morning.

A
little about me personally… I have a degree in Early Childhood Education from
Eastern Illinois University. I also have
advanced my education by taking college classes, online courses and numerous
workshops and seminars so that I can keep up to date on new and current
educational trends. I grew up in
Lansing, IL and still live there with my 10 year old son. I love to travel, camp, read, cook and spend
time with family and friends.

Children
in kindergarten have not yet achieved total independence. Therefore; it takes strong family support, as
well as support from the school and teacher, to help create a well rounded and
successful kindergartener. I am looking
forward to working with your child and with you. Please contact me if you have any questions.
